This blog will present news items about the motion picture business, with emphasis on lower budget, independent film in most cases. Some reviews or commentaries on specific films, with emphasis on significance (artistic or political) or comparison, are presented. Note: No one pays me for these reviews; they are not "endorsements"!

About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

"How Would You Envision a Space Colony?"

“How Would You Envision a Space Colony?”, short film from
National Geographic with Rick Tumlinson, It’s in the “FreeThink” series called “A New
Space Age”.

It’s inspired by Gerard K. O’Neil’s book“The High Frontier”.

Tumlinson compares today's kids to those living in the 1500s about the time that the explorers went across the Atlantic looking for the New World.

Tunlinson has kids and young adults designing a Rama-like
space colony, even with artificial gravity, that he thinks people could be
living on in twenty years. He says people will go to live on these colonies,
the Moon, or Mars, or maybe further (like near Europa or Titan?)

One girl used Minecraft do design a 3-D hologram of her
conceived habitat.
